Financial Grant Opportunities

Neighborhood House provides financial grant opportunities for clients participating in our financial wellness program called Strive to Thrive. It is our mission to work with active clients to develop a plan to balance the budget, improve the financial situation and provide on-going support as the client works toward financial wellness. Guidelines for the Financial Grant opportunities:

• Financial Grants are eligible to active clients working with a case manager.

• Financial Grants are used to assist in paying a past due bill.

• Income and Expenses will be reviewed and a plan will be created to balance the client budget.

• If the client agrees to work with the case manager on the plan, a grant application may be completed at that time.

• There is additional required documentation needed to complete the grant application process. Your case manager will provide the list to you.

• The process may take up to 2 weeks.

• The completed grant application will be presented to the grant committee for review and determination. The grant committee meets each Thursday to review applications.

  Note: The case manager does not approve the grant. The committee determines whether to move forward or not. Financial grants are not definite.

The following grants are available through the case manager as you are working on balancing the budget:

• Eviction Prevention: Neighborhood House can work with the client and landlord to keep families in their homes.

• Transportation: Neighborhood house can assist our working clients or clients with extenuating circumstances with a car repair, tags or registration to keep the vehicle on the road.

• Utility Grant: Neighborhood House can help keep heat on in the winter or A/C on in the summer.
